If you want to start a blog, business website, or online store in Malaysia, one of the first things you need is fast, reliable, and affordable web hosting.

Your hosting provider affects your website speed, uptime, security, and overall user experience. For beginners, choosing the right hosting from the start can save a lot of time and trouble later.

In this guide, we look at a popular Malaysian hosting provider and show you how to get your website online step by step.

What Is Web Hosting and Why Does It Matter?

Web hosting is the service that stores your website files and makes them accessible on the internet. When someone visits your domain name, the hosting server delivers your website content to their browser.

A good web hosting plan should give you:

  • Fast loading speed

I'm going to explain the basics of Elementor. To show you how it works inside of WordPress. It's essential to understand how Elementor, So, let's get started. What do we need to follow? The difference between Elementor for free and Elementor Pro. Why you need a theme and what WordPress does.

To simplify it, a website is nothing more than a few pages that are connected with each other. A page consists of a menu with a logo and some menu items, the content of the page, and the footer. The menu and footer appear on all pages, and the content within those pages is different on all pages. So, to edit these pages, you will need to go to the backend of WordPress. WordPress is the interface where all of your pages are, your plugins, your theme, and your settings, which you can only see when you log in. So, back in the days, you would download a theme somewhere on the internet, which would give you a lot of options to edit your pages, your menu, and your footer.

For every page, you would go to a specific edit page where you could play around with the settings of that page. Then you would save it and check if your changes worked out on the live page. This meant that you had to go back and forth all the time to see if it worked out in the way you wanted. Also, all of the themes had different options, but no theme had all the options. So, often, you would stumble upon limitations of that theme, and you would need custom code to get the page that you want. This was how Elementor worked for years. But then, something new hits the market, the page builders like Elementor. With a page builder, you can skip the edit page and go straight to the live page. You will get a sidebar with different options, and you can drag and drop different elements on the page. This means that you don't need to use the problematic edit page anymore. And build up your pages super-fast with an experience that's similar to a design tool. The only reason you will still need your theme is to run Elementor, because Elementor cannot run without a theme. And you will need your theme to edit your menu and your footer.

So, let's build our first page. So, here I am on the free version of Elementor on a blank new page and I can just drag the elements out of Elementor on my website. So, for example, I can just drag a video on a canvas and then, I can place a YouTube link in here and I just have a video on my website. Or for example, if I click here, I can add a title super easy and I can type the title here. I can drag a button and make it a link to a website that I want. Things like an image gallery, a progress bar, or for example, a testimonial, where you can change the photo, the text, and everything about it. And then, if I just click publish, the website is saved and this page is live. And if you have no inspiration for what to put on your page, they have these templates. And these are fully designed templates that you can click on to get some inspiration. And what's even better is that you can insert them. So, if you have a template that's similar to the website you want to create, you just click on insert. And then, this whole page is inserted into your page, and then, you can change that page. So, let's just try that for now. Let's insert this page. But now, this whole page is inserted into my page, and I can just change the text in here. And if I then click update, this page is also live. So, this is super cool. But for people who want to make their own design, and don't want to rely on a design from somebody else. They also have something great, and that's called blocks. So, that's what you find here. And with these blocks, you can build up a page really fast. Because these are the blocks, the sections on every page. So, let's say you want to build your own portfolio. So, you've made a little sketch just on paper with the first section, and you want a big video in the background here,  you want some text then, you want your services section, and you want three parts here. And then, you maybe wish to an image gallery for your work. And then, perhaps you want some contact information with a map. So, let's say this is what you want to build. And this is where the categories come in. So, they already have the most common categories here in the block. So, if you click on here, that's like the upper section of your website. You can already insert something like we've sketched on a paper. And then you can replace this image background with a video. What's also a nice benefit. 


about Elementor Pro is that they have a lot more templates, right. Because as you can see, a lot of those blocks are only available when you buy Pro. So, for example, on these pages, you will see this first five are free, but then, a lot of them have this Pro icon. So, if you want all the templates that they provide, you would also need Pro. Also, they will give you a lot more widgets, right. Because this is pretty limited. It's already super lovely, which you can do with the free version.

But for example, I'm here on a website where Elementor Pro is installed. You would have this new section, right. So, you could add sliders, you could add a new navigation menu, you can insert a form, your own contact form. And most importantly, you can insert your blog post and design them yourself. And also, when you're designing more significant websites, you will have a lot of elements that are the same on every page. And if you only have the free version and something changes, you would need to change every page manually. And that's not a really nice experience. So, that's why in Pro they have this thing called template. So, if you think like, okay, this part I'm going to use on all the pages on my website. You can click on it and click on save as a template. And then, if you change something inside of the template, it will change on all the pages, right. So, if you're building bigger websites, you would want that template feature, trust me. And what's also really great about the Pro version is that they have a role manager. And the role manager allows you to limit what the client can do. So, if you're working for a client and you want them to edit the text only, but not mess up your design, they have a roll manager. So, for example, you add a user, a vapor user, and you give them their own email and their own login. You can say they can only edit the content. And then they can only edit the text and the images. And if you give them you know, all-access, they can just mess up your whole website, and you need to start over. So, that's also a really nice feature if you're working with clients.  So, if you want to get started the download link for Elementor free is in the description. I've also put the link for Elementor Pro, and there's also a recommendation for hosting if you don't have Hosting yet.

Blogger Free for Life Hosting
Chapter 4 - Website Content


Make sure you already completed the first 3 chapters guide I mention before you did this final step. 

Chapter 1 - Hosting Preparation
Chapter 4 - Website Content 

This part is nothing much related to any website setup and design anymore. is just what is the information you would like to present and share on the website. 

Insert the content you prepare and upload the photo in the Post / Page. Click the "Publish" button, the page will ready to view for anyone visiting your website.

The only one thing I'm would like to highlight in this chapter is just to ensure you understand the different between "Post" and "Page"

Post - is a dynamic article content. The blogger system will automatically allocate the post content to the predefined section appear from the lasted to old sorting by the publish date. just ensure you assign the correct "Labels" in your Post Settings.

Page - is a static web page. once you complete the information. You are required to manual assign to the blogger system. to instruct where you would like to show the page. some basic manual setting is required to be done by yourself before the page will appear on the website. suitable for some page you would like to assign to the Manu button like About Us, Contact Us, Our Vision or Misson.   
if you are not very familiar with the blogger system. you can always use the "Post" article first.

Convert Blogger Main Page To Website Design
Chapter 3 - Template Customization

Chapter 1 - Hosting Preparation
Chapter 4 - Website Content 
I believe you may spend more time in this section because this part involves a little bit more on the XML text replacement and title edit via the blogger layout. The main job is going to view your current blog page. find the title at each table and replace it with your own preferred wording. 

 Only two areas you need to access in the blogger page setting. 

 Layout - Overall entire page layout design. you can add or remove the section if you wish to change from the original template design. most time you will only access this area at the very beginning website creation time. no require to keep access to change any setting after setup configuration completed. 

 Theme - The main area for you to install and setup the design theme. this section will be the XML coding edit place as well. some website setting requires to edit the XML coding to complete the configuration. No worry, still no programming skill at this part. what you need to do is just search the keyword of the social link and replace it to your own social account link. like below:
<div id='top-social'> 
<a href='http://facebook.com/XXXXX' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-facebook'/></a> 
<a href='http://twitter.com/XXXXX' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-twitter'/></a> 
<a href='http://instagram.com/XXXXX' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-instagram'/></a> 
<a href='http://pinterest.com/XXXXX' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-pinterest'/></a>
<a href='http://youtube.com/XXXXX' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-youtube'/></a>
</div>

Every person has different needs at this part. and different blogging platforms are good for different things. Is just depend on you and your situation. But if you are new for blogging, I recommend using blogger as there first blogging platform. 

As I mentioned at the beginning, you should always prefer blogger as your first blogging platform because of the reasons below 

1. Easy To Setup your first blog

I believe you will not have any technical knowledge and skill to develop your professional blog at the beginning time. You will notice the google blogger solution is the easiest and simple way to set up. Just a valid google account and few steps to complete the registration. Your first blog via blogger is ready to use and view. 

Like to write a contest in the normal windows WordPad, you can now start to write and share something you wish to share and post on your personal blog. As per beginner, I will suggest you can ignore any SEO ( search engine optimize )and own domain name now. Just let the google blogger system to communicate with the search engine themselves. As long as your content is unique and useful for the people who are interested in your post topic. They will able to find and read your posting. 

2. Security

As I mention, because the blogger is maintained by google service. Nothing much you need to worry as long as your personal google account password is secure. Blog security is one of the most important things for every blogger, whether you are a beginner or experienced. 

As far security is concerned, you should know blogger platform is owned by Google and it becomes almost impossible to hack into their servers, the key thing is to keep your google account safe, which is you should always do with or without start the blogging.

The Google blogger has recently introduced SSL security for their blogs for free of cost. What else you can expect to get on top of this all?


3. Zero Investment

There are may other solution and platform is offering a very good and convenient solution. But most of that has come with different charges. 
You may need to have some basic knowledge to choose the right suitable package and some basic skill to set up your blog. I will say this may be your next step when you plan to go for a more professional blog post in the future. When you feel the normal blog post feature is not enough to meet your requirements. 

In Blogger most of the necessary thing is free. Here we are talking about that Things which are mandatory to start a blog, like free hosting, free theme, free Blogspot domain, free SSL certificate. So starting a blog in blogger is like starting with zero investment. 

4. Free Themes

For the Blogger design. There are some good themes for sale is USD17~25 or totally free to download you can get on the internet some template platform or some website to get them. 
Both of them provide high quality and professional looking blogger themes for a free or simple small amount of one-time license fee. 

And the solution is free and hosted on google server, it becomes very fast and you don't have to worry about the theme's loading time.


5. Seo Friendly

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the most important thing to learn for the best blogging experience. Without proper blog optimization, we can’t even dream to get impressive traffic from search engines. You will get many functionalities in blogger for SEO optimization such as Custom Robots Header Tags, Custom Robots.txt. For best SEO practices you can Optimize your Blog Post Titles, also Image can be Optimised from post editor and Internal Linking can be done too.

And that’s it! I am more than confident that your initial blog set up should now be finished and ready to go, and all that should have been damn easy.

There are multiple of the provider to provide the hosting solution to the market. but do I need to subscribe to the hosting service? 

here is the question I summary to share with you, maybe you can consider it before you proceed with the package. 
  1. How much budget I have?
  2. What is my main purpose for the website?
  3. I must have my own domain.com or free domain?
  4. Myself to maintain the website?
  5. How often I will update the website information?

sometimes, you just need a page to show your basic information. Some free platforms may able to fulfill your requirement without any cost to you.

here is some example for you:

I’m a student and I just need a place for me to post my information for sharing a purpose. I have not much money or a budget for this. 
#Facebook Page #Blogger #FreeHosting

I’m usually sharing my interest at some free blog. But I wish to have a professional web for my sharing. 
#BudgetHosting #Hosting

I’m building a website for my company website and I have a limited budget. So I plan to create the website myself and maintain a few email account only. Not often to update the website. 
#BudgetHosting #Hosting 

A large corporate company website and the information may update from time to time. Website speed and security is the main concern.
#SecureHosting #SecureWebsite #SSD Hosting
#PrivateHosting

the reason is some time, you just need a page to show your basic information. so can use some 100% platform to do the same request.  more article will share in my next topic
